If you REALLY want want to get rid of the spam bots from your phpBB, go  
to the phpBB forum pages and search GMT-12.  Since I tried what is  
suggested there some months ago, I haven't had a single spam bot  
register on the phpBBs that I maintain. 
 
If you want to waste your time blocking IP addresses, that's up to you.
